Adina Edwards-Chen
The current generation of gospel artistes and fans know little about Adina Edwards, the blind singer who stood on the corner of Kingston and Barry streets playing an accordion and belting out Christian songs. She would do songs like Precious Lord, Just A Closer Walk With Thee, Love Walks With Me and He Touched Me. But it was her cover of the Bee Gees' Don't Forget To Remember that many had identified Edwards with.
Edwards died April 4, 2008 at the University Hospital of the West Indies, at age 83. She was revered in gospel circles but largely unknown to a secular audience.
